, the house of representatives and the senate. >> yes. >> tell me about that. >> you use the word whacko>> no, i think you used that word. >> i used that word in the speech. the tea party people are crazy. i mean, they are luna ticks. they closed down the government, throw people out of their jobs, hundreds of thousands of people and say that they are doing to ultimately in the interests of creating jobs. madness. and, you know, my life has been shaped by that kind of situation - madness, craziness by our democracy and shining ideals of our dem okay wassy mem wrorial esed by the -- memorialized by the monuments at the other end of the mall. incarcerations of japanese-americans was crazy. they didn't incars rate the japanese-americans in hawaii. that's the place that was bombed. the japanese population was 45% of the island of hawaii. if they extracted those japanese-americans, the economy would have collapsed. but on the mainland we were thinly spread out up and down the west coast. >> so you experienced discrimination early, but you experienced discrimination later in life as well; corr

yet there were people like john mccain, whacko birds and comments by other people.your reaction to the battle with n the party? >> i spoke out about that. when senator mccain called some of the senators whacko birds i came out against that as well. i'm for everyone in the party. i supported ted and mitch mcconnell and speaker boehner. i think in the end we have to focus on the things we agree with. we a gree that this rollout has been a monstrosity. we have to focus on that as a party. ultimately if the you look at the issues we are uniteded. i believe it. we had ted cruz and rand paul helping out the rnc raising funds a couple of weeks ago. this is not a divided party. it's not the establishment versus the tea party. we were with ken cuccinelli on saturday. i don't see it, sean. i know that's what people want to play up in the media. i think we are united but have to focus on the things that bring us together. >> the latest report showed this conservative group that helped elect marco, ted, mike lee, rand. that if they are being used that apparently the nrsc, i thi

i'll write you a note. >> give me a little -- ted cruz, a whacko. >> no, he's not. >> let me finish.very smart. but so political if he really used the great intelligence he would have warned and said, these are the pitfalls. you could have spelled them out. you could have spelled out the pitfalls of what would take place, why young people wouldn't come in, how the system couldn't support itself. [ shouting ] >> let me finish. >> step aside. don't shut down the government. you would have had people -- pee fixing, taking a look at this. and obama and the program would have been in much worse political shape. it is still going to, attract attention and now, for the first time, someone is going to say my god. i didn't know about that, my premiums goring up. having said that, let me conclude. i, no filibuster here. >> oh, no. >> i had a long one myself, 13 hours, okay. but let me finish by saying this, it will be very difficult to fix. i you think you're going to see medicaid expansion we've talked about, huge. i think wrur going to continue to see average american is going to pay rs whet

once they thought we were whacko birds and nuts i think you will see a lot of people that realize ithat way but the republicans have no -- (talking over one another) >> the heritage foundation numbers don't take into account the subsidies which are half of those who don't have insurance they qualify for. the other thing is senator eldamoto the other thing i agree with and don't sur rise he's the only republican i my entire life. one of the things he said is prep republicans need to be a part of the solution. why did it take three and a half years for them to get engaged in it? >> doug, did you see the car vel greenburgh poll today? devastating impact on democrats in their districts far greater than republicans. >> that is correct. the republican ratings in wall street journal poll highest negatives in history. >> that's is the point, too. if there was a real republican party the president would be -- (indiscernible). >> we need to stop saying this. the plan needs to be fixed. this is rolling out exactly the way liberals wanted it to roll out. it is going to fail and the big governmen

the government will be shutdown again by the whacko tea party. >> is bob talking in your ear piece? >> thank you bob. >> if i get arrested for murder, i want you to defend me. say i'm guilty of removing oxygen accidently from an individual. >> who me? i'd never defend you. >> that hurts me deeply. the main media had no problem broadcasting this load of crap over and over. >> if you've got health insurance, you can keep your doctor, keep your plan. if americans like their doctor, they'll keep their doctor. if you like your insurance plan, you'll keep it. >> but the president rewrote the pledge this week. why isn't that reported? kimberly will tell you which news net works aren't doing their job next. it's all of them. >> it's a punishment segment. farmer: hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer. and our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels. but we'd really like our truck back, so if you see it, let us know, would you? thanks. what? med

another point called you a whacko bird. he was on with greta. now he sounds like ted cruz. i want your reaction. >> let people go across state line in order to -- if they can get a better insurance policy in another state. remove this whole tax incentive for employers to provide employees -- >> that's repeal. >> that's repeal, right. exactly right. that's total repeal. what obama care is an experiment in social engineering. >> he said elections have consequences. it's irrational. what's your reaction considering he more than anybody else was firing away at you at the time? >> well, i agree with with john mccain. i'm glad -- >> now but not then. >> the great thing is success has 1,000 fathers. failure is an orphan. i am happy for everyone in the republican party to claim success and parentage for us coming together and repealing obama care because it isn't working. the more who come together, the better chance we are going to have of successfully empowering the american people. if you want to expand health insurance, you want more choices and lower costs. what obama care doe

don't pay attention to any of the whackos on social media telling you about the forecast.t us ready and the biggest travel day is wednesday. the rain will be here by then. is it really going to ruin things? >> i think tomorrow will be the worst travel day. wednesday will have its own problems there. will be showers up in the northeast. a mix of rain, snow and wind. very windy on wednesday. so that's going to hamper things but if you're taking a car trip, i think wednesday actually will be better than tuesday, especially if you're coming up from the south. cold is the problem once again, although the winds are much lighter than yesterday. temperatures teens and 20s to start. here is your day planner if take you a look at the washington monument. good looking visibility this morning. sunshine fading behind clouds as the day wears on. you see the speeds. they do get up to 11 at 4:00. south, southwest 5 to 10, give or take a couple. in the mid-30s by 9. tonight at 8 -- obey 8:00. tonight at 8:40, we have kickoff. going to fed ex tonight, middle 30s for that game. it will be dr
